The Best Shingles for Arizona

If you are currently building a new home in Arizona or you are planning to replace your old roof with a new one that uses affordable, yet durable and weather-resistant materials, roofing shingles make the best choice. Shingles are nowadays gaining more and more popularity because of their excellent weather-resistant qualities that make them suitable for any climate – here are the most common varieties you can choose from:

3-tab shingles – the most widespread variety is made from three layers, each from a different material to increase weather-resistance. These shingles are inexpensive, durable and able to withstand any weather and even the widest temperature variations, but they come with a relatively short warranty time and they are available in only one size and shape,

Architectural shingles – available in various shapes and sizes, architectural shingles are thicker than 3-tab varieties, thus offering more protection to your home. They come with longer warranty periods, but they are also slightly more expensive,

Slate shingles – slate offers enhanced fire resistance and a lifespan that exceeds 50 years, but being the heaviest variety, it is not suitable for any building and it requires professional installation,

Metal shingles – another durable and weather-resistant solution, metal is a long-lasting material and it is also the easiest to install because it can be simply laid on top of the old roof.
